Calibrated 633nm and 415nm LED phototherapy for tissue recovery.

Cosmetiva Reply • Irradiance & Optical Calibration

Consumer plastic face masks fail for two physical reasons: weak irradiance (light energy per square centimeter) and broad optical bandwidth. Most consumer masks output less than 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²), which fails to deliver adequate photon density past the dead stratum corneum into dermal fibroblasts.

At Cosmetiva, we utilize an arched medical-grade panel with calibrated diode banks delivering over 45 mW/cm² of narrow-band light. Our red wavelength is locked precisely to 633 nanometers (tolerance ±2nm), which directly stimulates cytochrome c oxidase within cell mitochondria to support natural adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and cellular repair. Our blue wavelength is locked to 415 nanometers to trigger endogenous porphyrin activation, neutralizing surface p-acnes bacteria without generating thermal heat or UV cellular damage.

Cosmetiva Reply • Operator Schedule & Variables

In accordance with our confirmed figures, facial services span 20 to 450 USD. A standalone 30-minute LED Phototherapy session carries a verified price of $65, including skin degreasing, serum prep, a 20-minute continuous diode dose, and barrier lipid finishing.

When added to any primary 60-minute facial, chemical peel, or microdermabrasion service, the LED protocol carries a reduced $35 add-on fee. An upper quote reaching $280 to $450 represents a comprehensive multi-apparatus restorative session combining manual extraction, diamond mechanical abrasion, HydraFacial vortex infusion, and full-spectrum LED light modulation overseen by our master esthetician.

Cosmetiva Reply • Optical Eye Protection Protocols

The work is performed by licensed master estheticians who have practiced continuously in Austin since 2020 under Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation standards.

Optical safety is our first protocol. Clients are never exposed to high-density planar diodes without dual-layer eye protection. We place opaque silicone blackout eye shields directly over closed eyelids, fastened with a tension band. The diodes emit zero ultraviolet (UV) radiation—there is no risk of sunburn, tan lines, or DNA strand breaks. You rest in a quiet, dark room under warm ambient music while the panel completes its pre-set timer cycle.

Cosmetiva Reply • Sequential Step Breakdown

Our 30-minute protocol is executed across four disciplined phases:

1. Minutes 00–05: Surface Preparation. Gentle degreasing cleanse to remove surface dust, mineral sunscreen, and makeup that would reflect or refract light photons.
2. Minutes 05–08: Optical Shielding & Alignment. Application of opaque eye shields and positioning of the arched diode canopy 8 centimeters above facial contours for optimal photon dispersion.
3. Minutes 08–28: 20-Minute Diode Exposure. Continuous calibrated wavelength emission (633nm red, 415nm blue, or alternating mode). The panel emits a gentle, non-thermal ambient warmth.
4. Minutes 28–30: Barrier Lipid Sealing. Removal of eye shields and application of bio-identical ceramides and mineral zinc oxide SPF 45.

Cosmetiva Reply • Absolute Contraindications

We strictly decline LED light therapy for clients with:

• Current use of photosensitizing medications (e.g., doxycycline, tetracycline, methotrexate, St. John's Wort).
• Diagnosed epilepsy or history of light-triggered seizures.
• Active cutaneous lupus erythematosus or porphyria.
• Under 18 years of age. Cosmetiva serves adult clients exclusively.

For clients taking photosensitizing medications, we route appointments to light-free mechanical treatments, such as our manual Custom Clinical Facial or soothing barrier linen compress wraps.
